Menounos will play the role of Eva, a character developed exclusively for the new game.

"I am honored to be a Bond girl and be a part of the Bond legacy," said Menounos. "To star in a video game with Connery, the original Bond, is incredible."

Menounos recently appeared in the 20th Century Fox blockbuster Fantastic Four. She is also the spokesperson for Pantene hair products, but she may be best remembered as a host for Entertainment Tonight.

From Russia with Love is based on the famous movie of the same name, and is scheduled for release on GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox this fall. In the third-person action title, players will once more assume the rule of super agent 007 and combat a host of enemy threats.
